SQUASH PUFFS

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup yellow squash, cooked and well drained
1/4 cup finely diced sweet onion (optional)
1/2 cup self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorns (Tellicherry)
1 egg
Oil of your choice for frying

Combine cooked squash, onion and egg.  Add cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and ground black peppercorns to a bowl and mix well.  Add the squash, onion and egg to the dry mixture and form into small balls.

Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown and drain on a bakers rack and/or paper towels.

NOTE: I used a 1.75 inch diameter scoop and dropped the squash puff mixture into the hot oil.  I already had a batch of squash and onions cooked ahead of time for another meal and used 1 cup of the squash and onion mixture, well drained.

Recipe from Rachel Myers who received the recipe from her Sister Frankie Beachum.

YIELD: 14 (1.75) inch diameter squash puffs.  Make them smaller if you desire.

This was an easy, fun recipe to do and will remind you of Hush Puppies and/or Corn Fritters.

Above squash puffs deep fried on 09-16-2021 and were delicious!
